Departure Functions: Interactive Simulation
Try to predict the behavior when a parameter changes before using a slider to change that parameter. A screencast below explains how to use this simulation.
Enthalpy and Entropy Departure Functions
Try to answer these questions before determining the answer with the simulation. We suggest that you write down the reasons for your answers.
- How does the absolute value of the enthalpy departure function at a given temperature change as the pressure increases?
- At 600 K and 10 MPa, which gas would be expected to have the largest absolute value of its departure function: argon, carbon dioxide, or benzene?
